🏴☠️ Introduction
When hunting for Bitcoin puzzles, it’s not only about finding the hit –
it’s about what happens next.
That’s where AutoPay comes in.
AutoPay ensures that rewards are paid out automatically, securely, and fairly –
directly to your own Bitcoin address, with no delays, no middlemen, and no trust required.
Set it once and let AutoPay handle the rest.
You hunt – AutoPay delivers the loot.
⚙️ AutoPay for Solo Puzzle Search & Address Search
In Solo Puzzle Search and Address Search, you sail alone.
Your BitBeard scans the keyspace on its own – no crew, no sharing.
🔔 What happens when a hit is found?
As soon as a valid hit is detected:
-
🛑 The search stops immediately
-
💰 The full reward is paid directly to your configured Bitcoin address
-
📜 The hit appears on the Hits page
-
🔗 The Bitcoin transaction can also be viewed there
No further action required – the treasure goes straight to your harbor.
⚓ Optional, but convenient
For Solo and Address Search, AutoPay is optional:
-
Enable it for automatic payouts
-
Disable it and handle payouts manually later
🏴☠️ Your hunt, your choice.
⚙️ AutoPay for Puzzle Pool Search
In the Puzzle Pool, you don’t hunt alone.
A full crew works together, each worker scanning assigned chunks of the keyspace.
To ensure the loot is distributed fairly and transparently, AutoPay is mandatory in the pool.
🔔 What happens when the pool finds a hit?
When a puzzle is solved in the pool:
-
🛑 The pool search stops immediately
-
⚖️ The reward is automatically split
-
70 % goes to the finder (the worker that finds the solution)
-
30 % is shared among all pool workers
– based on how many chunks they successfully scanned
-
-
💰 All shares are paid directly to the configured Bitcoin addresses
-
📜 The hit and payouts appear on the Hits page
-
🔗 Every transaction is fully transparent and traceable
🏴☠️ Why AutoPay is required in the pool
Without AutoPay:
-
fair distribution would not be possible
-
transparent accounting could not be guaranteed
-
instant payouts for all crew members would not work
AutoPay is the neutral quartermaster on board –
no favoritism, no delays, no missing loot.
🔒 Additional Security for Pool Payouts
🏴☠️ Why pool rewards are routed through a BitBeard wallet
For Puzzle Pool hits, the full reward is first sent to a secure BitBeard distribution wallet.
This is done by design and for one important reason:
to protect the reward from bots, snipers, and transaction hijacking.
Bitcoin puzzle rewards are publicly visible and highly attractive targets.
If payouts were split directly from the puzzle address, automated bots could attempt to intercept or manipulate the transaction.
⚓ How this protects the crew
To ensure the treasure reaches the crew safely:
-
🛡️ The full reward is sent in one secure transaction
-
⚡ High transaction fees are used to guarantee fast confirmation
-
🧮 Additional safety checks ensure the transaction cannot be replaced or hijacked
-
💰 After confirmation, the reward is automatically split and distributed
-
70 % to the finder
-
30 % to the pool workers
-
-
📤 All shares are then paid out directly to the workers’ own wallets
At no point is the reward exposed to third parties or left vulnerable in the mempool.
🏴☠️ Transparency & trust
-
All payouts remain fully traceable on the blockchain
-
Every distribution transaction can be viewed on the Hits page
-
BitBeard never holds user funds longer than technically required for secure distribution
⚓ The BitBeard wallet acts as a shield, not a vault.
⚓ In short
This extra step ensures that:
-
pool rewards cannot be stolen by bots
-
payouts are fast, fair, and secure
-
every crew member receives exactly their share
🏴☠️ The treasure is protected until it safely reaches every pirate’s harbor.
⚓ Conclusion
AutoPay takes care of everything after a hit:
-
automatic
-
transparent
-
straight to your own wallet
Whether you hunt solo or sail with the crew in the pool,
AutoPay ensures the loot ends up exactly where it belongs.
🏴☠️ Set sail – AutoPay handles the payout.
